Pearl Court Apartments, completed in September 1997, is a full-block development at the edge of downtown in Portland’s emerging River District, a new neighborhood growing out of 70 acres of vacant railroad yard between downtown Portland and the Willamette River. The building’s 199 apartments are rented at rates that residents earning 40 percent to 60 percent of the area median income can afford. The building features a library, a formal two-level lobby with a fireplace, numerous lounges and outdoor decks, and a large bicycle room. The apartments enclose a landscaped courtyard.
